Wireless aluminum keyboard Firmware 1.0 update: Command-accent keystroke.

Hi,
I applied firmware update (1.0) for the aluminum wireless keyboard several days ago and have lost my ability to move to the next/previous window using command-accent/tilde. Has anyone else encountered this?
All other keystrokes are functional and it affects both command keys.
Thanks!

Solution: I reset my Keyboard Shortcuts (preferences/keyboard & mouse) even there there were no conflicts present.

  • HT3932 Wireless Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update

    I am trying to install the Aluminum keyboard software update. When I click on the file I downloaded from apple (Jan 25, 2010 - long file name) I get a message that says no aluminum keyboard is connected. The keyboard is on, paired and connected (I can type things; show up under bluetooth, etc). What am I doing wrong? The firmware version is way old (050 vs 321).
    Thanks,
    Justin

    Hello:
    Your profile simply says "iPad."  What, exactly, are you trying to do?

  • Delayed Response on Wireless Aluminum Keyboard Since the Update

    I just updated the firmware on my wireless aluminum keyboard and now there is an annoying noticeable delay between pressing a key and seeing it on the screen. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Sorry that I can't help you with this, but FYI I have just updated the firmware on my Aluminium keyboard and haven't noticed any difference in the response.

  • Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Software Update Issue

    I keep getting the Aluminum keyboard firmware software update in Software Update. I install it, but then it shows up again. No matter how many times I install it, it does not go away. Any ideas?

    Have you verified in System Profiler that your keyboard has the update installed? Is the stated firmware for your keyboard correct?
    For a wireless keyboard:
    Open System Profiler.
    In the Hardware section of System Profiler, select Bluetooth.
    Locate the keyboard in the list of Bluetooth devices.
    Look in the Firmware Version field: If the version number is 321, the keyboard has been successfully updated.
    For a USB keyboard:
    Open System Profiler.
    In the Hardware section of System Profiler, select USB.
    Locate the Apple Keyboard in the list of USB devices.
    Look in the Firmware Version field: If the version number is 0.69, the keyboard has been successfully updated.
    If it is not correct, manually download the firmware update and install. If System Profiler says that it has been installed then go into Software Update and tell it to ignore that update.

  • Kernel panic when I try to run Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update

    Hi,
    I'm trying to run the Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update and every time I try, as soon as I've entered my admin password I get a kernel panic. I've tried it 5 times and it's the same every time - I click Update, I put in the password and bam.
    Anyone else had this?

    If you don't get the KP when booting from the internal, then suspect a corrupt installation on the SSD or that the SSD is causing the issue. See

  • 2009 Aluminum keyboard firmware update 1.0 keeps appearing

    I recently brought my 2009 Aluminum keyboard from home to work to use with my 15" MBP running 10.8.3 (MBP: 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM).
    In the App Center there is listed an update for the keyboard, the 2009 Aluminum keyboard firmware update 1.0. I have installed this update at least twice, if
    not more, and it continues to reappear as an update. The keyboard works just fine with the MBP, no problems at all. Just curious as what may be the root cause, if known, and what to do about it, if anything other than ignoring the update.

    Download this update manually and install it > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL997 Then, that upgrader will appear in /Applications/Utilities, so open it, choose the keyboard and it will be upgraded to the latest version available for that keyboard

  • Aluminum Keyboard firmware update FAILURE

    I accepted the firmware update yesterday and was asked for my appleID password to confirm installation. After the firmware installation started (listed as "Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0" in the title bar of the installation window, but 1.1 in the software update list), the keyboard just stopped working entirely (although the mouse connected to the USB slot was still functioning) and oddly, I was asked for my password to resume installation. Of course at this point, I had no functioning keyboard to enter the password!
    I plugged in a spare MS keyboard to put in the password and continue the installation, which stalled due to some internet issues (still not sure if it's ISP or AirPort related). I woke up this morning to check and the update was still stuck installing. It wouldn't let me close the update without forcing, but I went ahead and stopped it and re-started the firmware update by checking for software updates again. The update asked me for my password THREE times and went through a loop of progress on what appeared to be the same installation screen. After the third time, I received a message that the firmware installation failed.
    So now I've completed the firmware update (with an error) and managed to incapacitate my keyboard. Any idea what I can do to get my keyboard working again?
    I'm aware of the possibility that the additional keyboard may be causing problems, but being prompted for a password three times during the firmware update necessitates it.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    At this point you may be better off taking the KB to an Apple Store and getting them to install the firmware.
    To be honest, I would never do a firmware update with Software Update. As you see, things can go wrong, especially when you are relying on an internet connection. Whenever SU informs me of a firmware update I decline to install and then go to the Apple Downloads page, manually download the update and, following the instructions exactly, install the update manually.

  • Aluminum Keyboard software won't update

    Leopard notices that I need an "Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update" 1.0
    I click the box, then, install, and I get the following screens...
    1) Updates were installed successfully.
    2) Software Update is still Active... Quit Software Update and click continue.
    Whatever I seam to do, the software does not update. Any suggestions would be VERY helpful!

    I had the same problem. Actually, I did not know it had not updated properly until I ran the software update application again the next day and noticed that I still needed the Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update. So, again, I selected install software. This time though I closed the software update installer application, as instructed. Then I pressed continue to install the update. The bar ran across my screen showing that the software was updating. It installed successfully.
    After the install, I noticed immediately that I can now move my keyboard further away from my iMac. I love the smaller keyboard. It is perfect for working from my lap. I am glad Apple made a wireless keyboard without the 10-keypad for people like me who never use the 10-keypad anyway. Thanks Apple!

  • Wireless aluminum keyboard won't stay on

    I'm trying to pair my wireless aluminum keyboard with my Mac Mini.  I have OS10.5.8 and I've run the aluminum keyboard 2.0 update.  My keyoard light comes on for about 2 seconds then goes out.  batteries are new and in correctly.   My mini is able to discover the keyboard after a bit of fooling with the on/off or removing and replacing the batteries, but when it goes to pair it always fails.  

    Hello:
    Try resetting the PRAM (if you can) and the SMC.
    If that does not help, I would suspect a faulty KB.

  • Wireless Aluminum Keyboard Troubleshooting

    If you're having issues with your Apple Wireless (Aluminum) Keyboard disconnecting, there are a few things you can try.
    First, check your wireless network configuration to see if you can avoid interference. See this post in another topic:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5783742#5783742
    Although I did have success with tweaking my wifi setup, my keyboard disconnect problem returned again a couple of weeks ago. I had recently upgraded to Leopard (10.5.1) which may have contributed - although I had been using wired ethernet, and switched back to wifi around the same time as my Leopard upgrade.
    Like others have posted, I also noticed the bluetooth daemon log errors in my system log. To look for them, you can open console.app, and search for "blued" in the system.log and also its archive history. Here's an example:
    +Jan 25 09:17:22 Macintosh-2 kernel[0]: IOBluetoothHCIRequest::Create [0x55da000] Request OpCode 0000 Generated by: blued (47) status: 0 timeout 1000. has a too small timeout, a reasonable value would be 5000 (5 seconds)+
    Here are some other things to try. You should only try one at a time - so that you can tell which change fixed your problem.
    1. In the Bluetooth System Preferences panel, unpair your keyboard, and re-pair it again
    2. Also in the Bluetooth System Preferences panel, add the keyboard to your favorites. To do this in Leopard: select the keyboard in the bluetooth devices list. Click on the tasks cog at the foot of that pane (just beside the plus and minus). Select "Show more info". Select "Add To Favorites".
    3. Reset the bluetooth preferences by moving system preference files. Warning: only try this if you are comfortable using the OS X terminal!! :
    sudo mv /var/root/Library/Preferences/blued.plist /var/root/Library/Preferences/blued.plist.old
    sudo mv /var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist /var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.old
    (you will need to enter your password at least once, and then will need to restart your machine).
    Keep a log of all the things you've tried. If none of these work, its probably time to call AppleCare. If you have one of the new Apple (Aluminum) Wireless Keyboards, it is still covered by warranty at this point.

    It sounds like the bluetooth in both of your keyboards has simply died. If it's still under warranty (if it has one), take it to the apple store and show them. They may give you a new one. For future reference, the new wired USB keyboard is now exactly the same as the wireless (except that it has a wire), and you won't face any bluetooth issues like that. You can get the new wired keyboard here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB869LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&mco=NDE4NjI4Mg
    Also, if you're willing to spend a bit more money, Macworld rated the Logitech DiNovo Edge Keyboard very highly. Here's a link to that:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/TU938LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&mco=MjgzMTkxNA
    Hope this helps.

  • Aluminum keyboard firmware updater caused my Mac not to boot.

    After installing the recent (4/8/08) keyboard firmware update, my iMac G5 refused to boot past the grey apple screen, too. Got the spinning paddle, but multiple hard shutdowns and restarts failed to get it past that point.
    I ended up booting the Leopard Install DVD and tried to reboot into my backup, a Superduper clone of the drive from the previous night. Wouldn't do it -- got the same result.
    Used Disk Utility (on the Leopard DVD) to repair the disk/permissions. The only significant repair was this:
    permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log," should be -rw-------, they are -rw-r-----.
    Now, I don't know what that means, but maybe it's relevant.
    I rebooted -- and still was unable to get past the grey screen. I tried repairing permissions a second time (and nothing unusual came up) and it still failed to fix the startup problem. I also used the repair disk function (between permissions repairs) and that had no effect, either.
    Ultimately, I was forced to do an archive and install of Leopard, which then allowed me to boot successfully.
    Really disappointing -- this is the kind of thing I expect Windows users to have to deal with, not us.

    I have MacMini with Wired Aluminum Keyboard. I have all the current Firmware and Software updates. The computer will not startup with the install disc using the "C" key nor will it start up with my second attached hard drive using the "Option" key. Now if I use my old Black Apple Keyboard both of these functions work beautifully.
    The real problem is the lack of knowledge about this on the part of Applecare and the Geniuses at the Apple Store. They don't even know about these discussions on the Apple Site nor any other internet site that is discussing or has discussed this issue.
    I wasted 2 hours with Applecare. They had me do the usual things such as resetting the Pram, disconnecting all cables and resetting the startup manager. You name it they just follow the book and waste your time and theirs.
    Their final conclusion was that my keyboard was defective so they made an appointment for me to bring it into the Apple Store. The Genius in the Apple Store hooks my keyboard up to another computer. I don't remember which model it was but I know it was not a Mac Mini. Anyhow he comes back and tells me my keyboard is fine. He says the RAM in my Mini has gone bad. So I replace the RAM. Still have the same problem.
    Well unless someone in this discussion group can tell me what the REAL problem is, I will keep my old Black Keyboard close by.

  • Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 does not install

    I just got notification from Software Update that a firmware update for my Apple Aluminum Keyboard was available. I attempted to install it and after three attempts, I got "Unexpected Error (3:4)". That's it. Nothing else. I didn't find any further information associated with the download and no other documentation. I did go as far as removing the keyboard from a KVM switch and USB Hub and connected it directly to my G4 Mac Mini. Still no success. Does anyone have any clue about software/firmware updates for peripherals that fail in this way? I've had the keyboard for about 3 months.

    I also had the error "An unexpected error occurred (4:3)" when installing the Keyboard Firmware Update. I resolved the matter by unplugging my KVM switch (and all other USB devices) and by connecting the keyboard directly to the computer.

  • TS1569 Brand new wireless aluminum keyboard will not accept passcode

    .......... to pair with brand new macbook air. Apple Care support can't figure this out. Just tried a second, identical keyboard in two days. Same issue. First keyboard worked flawlessly with mid 2010 macbook pro. I'm ******!

    I just does not accept that it should be nessecarry to use a usb keyboard when buying a brand new mac!
    And luckily I managed to solve this in the end
    My setup was is with a keyboard that was previously paired worth my MBP, and I tried a lot of things, but what did it in the end was this:
    First I unpaired the keyboard from the MBP using http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1809?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US. Only, this time I ignored the first step which reads: "Press and release the On/Off switch on the wireless keyboard to turn it off." Thinking of it, how would the the keyboard know that it is unpaired, if it is turned off?
    The 2 thing I did differently this time was that I did not power on the keyboard until it actually said so on the screen. This means that I powered on the Mini, waited until I had selected the language using the Trackpad, waited until the "Connect Keyboard" dialog appeared on the screen. Then I turned on the keyboard in pairing mode...
    That's basically what I did to be successful! Hope it will help somebody else

  • Wireless Aluminum keyboard right half keys not working

    THe right half, maybe the right third, keyboard no longer works.  I've tried pairing it with different computers and I'm not able to as the return key doesn't work.  I tried looking up my warranty online but the serial number keeps coming back as invalid.  Is there possibly a way to do a hard reset on the keyboard to see if that would do the trick?

    Hello:
    Apple does not maintain a database of peripheral devices.  The keyboard is under warranty for one year.  Either take it to an Apple store or call Applecare (if the device is less than a year old).

  • Keyboard firmware update

    Any ideas why everytime I run the Software Update it lists the Keyboard Firmware 1.0 update? I must have installed it half a dozen times by now and it still appears!
    Thanks

    The Software Update download doesn't run/install the patch, it simply downloads an application to the Applications/Utilities folder called *Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update*.
    Browse to the Utilities folder and run that app. You'll soon be set with the fix and you won't see the prompt to download any more.
    Welcome to the Apple boards.
    On my MBP, the update downloaded and preinstalled. A few moments later a new window popped up and the install began. It does install itself - at least on my MBP it did - completely automatically, after I ticked a few buttons on the second install window.
    It may depend on how one's settings are configured for automatic installing of these downloads, although I don't see any options on my system other than automatic download, which is unchecked.
